Yeah I'm not sure what the definition of "looks healthy" is but I don't share the view that Braun "looks it." He's getting a scheduled day off and he's still missing multiple starts due to body soreness. He's got the look of a ball player that isn't aging gracefully. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You really have to pray for a suitor for Braun in a trade this year. Sore thumb, sore wrist, sore back, sore neck, it's always something nowadays. Getting 140 games out of him is wishful thinking at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I can't complain about the rule or the call since I've personally wanted the "in the general vicinity" of the base allowance eliminated for a long time. I think baseball has to make replay decisions by teams on a dugout judgement only. No more of this manager to the top step waiting for a guy on the phone to decide if there's evidence to review or not. Either YOU see it differently than the umpire or you don't.

You should NOT be in the first row behind the dugout with a baby. Votto's bat flew out of his hands and the dad had to dive in front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
^^ This. He's starting to grow on me. Definitely a serviceable outfielder. Probably a better 4th, but has put together nice at bats with regular playing time.
Glad you got over there. I stopped in there on Tuesday, he said he would know on Wednesday if they were going to stay open. I haven't checked in since. It's my main shop for penny sleeves and top loaders just because of how close it is but the cream of the crop is Price's (Brewtown). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just wanted to give collectors a heads up that a local card shop is closing next Friday because of the Owner's health. The gentleman manning the store is taking 50% offers on high dollar items like Favre autos and they have bobble heads going 4 for $20. Definitely worth giving them a call. It's Gundersons on 72nd & National. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Everyone can stop taking selfies at the ballpark, we have a king. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160505/bd6f9e5050f2b2bad306ceb7d20e0ad0.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Maldonado is Peralta's personal catcher. They've been working together to get Peralta figured out. That hasn't worked out. Make Peralta be caught by Lucroy. Only great pitchers should be able to have a personal catcher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't understand hitting Villar so low. He gets on base at such a high clip and is swinging a decent stick, who is going to drive him in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It would be a difficult decision but if Brauns' trade value is sky high at the deadline I can't see how a rebuilding team with so many holes could just deny the potential return. Can't forget Braun is in his age 33 year, he's not part of the future.
I hate the Cardinals for the simple reason that every time you look at them on paper you think, "They are not going to be very good this year." Then their nobodies are coached into somebodies. Ugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
